MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) — Consecutive home sweeps just wasn’t in the cards for the resilient Miami Marlins.
Brandon Crawford hit a tiebreaking two-run double in the eighth inning, and the San Francisco Giants broke a seven-game losing streak by rallying past the Marlins 3-1 Thursday.
San Francisco’s Tyler Beede, recalled before the game from Triple-A Sacramento, allowed one run in six innings to lower his ERA in four appearances to 7.82. Three relievers completed a seven-hitter.
The Giants averted a series sweep against the team with the National League’s worst record, and won with six hits.
They trailed 1-0 in the seventh when Crawford doubled and scored on a single by Mike Yastrzemski, who earned his first career RBI.
